inside jesse jackson, jr. cried profusely throughout the proceeding. he told the judge after steadfastly looking back at his mother, almost a distraction at one point, his attorneys kind of had to remind you you need to be facing the judge, he said to the judge i fully understand the consequences of my actions. now, he had nothing to say to us. we don't expect to hear from him. we should also point out he had a lot of political heavyweights here with him, willy gary, one of itself most noted -- the most noted civil attorneys in the country, flew his own plane in for this proceeding today. also, judy smith, the noted woman who flies in and swoops down when political figures like michael vick and others get in trouble. she was here helping to handle and form the response to all of this. so a lot of people surrounding him. very little to be said to us except for those comments you heard from the attorney. we're going to have more on that. also later today, the u.s. attorney will have something to say about this case. bruce johnson reporting live from u.s.
